Re: Placing a Tank after a solenoid valve

For those interested this was actually a prototype from 2008 which was the first thing we tested after kickoff. This is an 8" with a 1 1/2" bore and it shoots the ball about 7ft ish into the air.

If anyone would like more info on it let me know and maybe we can post a vid or something along those lines.


EDIT: DISCLAIMER - This was legal in 2008, we haven't looked into it's legality in 2014.
